Ryan Tannehill also deemed his 2015 debut unsatisfactory.
“There were plenty of plays that we left on the field, whether it’s the third-and-one short run or a missed throw”, he said.
It’s wonderful the Miami Dolphins won last week at Washington, given the initial return on a $210 million offseason investment in their two biggest stars.
Landry is the best offensive weapon on the team, which is why you’ll soon see just as many #14 jerseys walking through the mall as you will #17 jerseys. He averaged only 9.0 yards per catch, working mostly in the role of a possession receiver, but coach Joe Philbin believes experience will help him evolve into more of a downfield threat.
“It was just [asked] where I was at, what stadium I was playing in and what was the date?” “I want to continue to be dominant”. What’s that old saying? The Dolphins got 2015 off to a desirable start, though last week’s 17-10 road victory over the Redskins didn’t exactly move the needle. He made only one solo tackle, and it was tarnished by an encounter after the whistle with running back Alfred Morris that had pundits abuzz about Suh’s reputation for dirty play. Guys like Ndamukong Suh and Cameron Wake are tough to handle on regular days, but they are even harder to handle with chips on their shoulders. “I don’t care”.
The Dolphins generated a pedestrian 256 total yards of offense and allowed 161 rushing yards on defense, with Washington holding the ball for almost 38 minutes. The Redskins’ zone scheme and cut blocking often kept Suh far from the ball.
” We’ve got to play better across the board, our players know that”, defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle said.
“I can’t say enough about Kaleb and what he’s done for us”, Landry said. “We’re looking forward to Jacksonville”. Blake Bortles completed 22 of 40 for 183 yards, one touchdown against two interceptions.
While one game certainly is not indicative of how a unit will play in the rest of the season, left tackle was a concern going into the year and tackle depth was also a concern.
The errant pass was troubling because accuracy on deep throws has been a chronic issue for Tannehill. Ndamukong Suh finished the year with 8.5 sacks (his highest since 2010).
Even so, Tannehill expects more from the offense. That said, the running game will need a lead blocker at times and how Alualu performs could greatly impact the team’s short yardage gains.
